This morning, news came from Serbia that Jokic will not play for the Searle League men's basketball team in this summer's World Cup. It is revealed that Jokic has spoken with national team coach Pejic and national team captain Bogdanovic, and although both sides hope that Jokic will play, in the end, the team decided to respect Jokic's decision.
In this men's basketball World Cup, the group stage of the Chinese men's basketball team is divided into Serbia, Puerto Rico, South Sudan group, the group stage will start at the end of August a month later. NBA superstar Jokic does not play, which is good news for the Chinese men's basketball team, the South Sudan men's basketball team, and the Puerto Rican men's basketball team on the same team.
The official announcement of the withdrawal from the national team is not only Jokic, a few days ago, the Canadian men's basketball team announced the main list of the men's basketball World Cup, including: Alexander, Murray, Barrett, Dillon, Dort, Olynyk, Joseph, Powell and many other NBA players, but there is no mouth. This means that Wiggins will not play in this World Cup.
In fact, as early as last summer, after the Canadian men's basketball team did not qualify for the Olympic list, the Canadian Basketball Association issued an agreement that mentioned that it hoped that the main players of the national team would be called up to the national team at any time in the next three years. Wiggins' response was:
"They want a long-term commitment, but I need to think not only about my time with the Warriors, but also about my family and off-court life, and I wouldn't be able to accept it if I were to dedicate the next three years to the Warriors and the national team."
Jokic has a similar view on this. When talking about this, some fans mentioned that this is the inclusivity of the other party and the quality of the fans. As far as this year is concerned, Serbia, France, Spain and other countries are enough to fight against the United States, which has an average lineup, but when the opponent's main players propose not to play, the other side still respects the opinions of the players.
If our star says that he wants to accompany his family and does not play the World Cup, Mo said whether the team agrees, I am afraid that most fans will scold it on the hot search, right? On the one hand, our basketball talent is indeed too limited, on the other hand, our basketball environment needs to improve.
At present, such progress may take a long time.
